Mamil Posted March 13, 2023 Share I actually miss that series of ppa road fun rides where you collected the bits of the medal and the bits.of the bike. Also that west coast ride that started in melkbos and smashed through the west coast national park on dirt and was a good way to get a seeding for ctct. And the trailseekers used to have more events in western cape I recall. DueSouth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE bring it back 🙏 EDIT - I reached out via an old email and their FaceBook page .... let's HOPE Fine Breede makes a return. Surely can only help if more of us goes onto their FaceBook page and support the request for the revival of this stunning event.

Breezer Posted March 14, 2023 Share Fine Breede and Willow Creek and Robertson winery was some of my favorite mtb races, Tip Trans in Citrusdal was the best value for money ever. On the road I really enjoyed the Tour de Worcester. Rouxenator and ChrisF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo Posted March 14, 2023 Share Piket-bo-Berg was always a nice outing, not sure I'm fit enough to tackle it now though. Rouxenator and Kimikaze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Marley Posted March 14, 2023 Share The Knysna race although not technically gone, its changed. I miss the old event style with the road bike on one day and mtb the other day. Made it a bit unique. Now its just another mtb stage race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've hoped it'll return to this, think last held in 2019!? The current format isnt appealing at all! Much rather plan a weekend with fam and ride said trails at my leisure.

Reminds me of my 1st ever race, starting from Yzerfontein all the way to west coast national park and back, I would love to do it again on the gravel bike now !

Skubarra Posted March 14, 2023 Share The road race through West Coast national park was also an underappreciated event. Mostly full road closures through a nature reserve next to the sea during spring. Another event killed off by covid 🙁 Mamil, Zebra, Mtree and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
